Last season on Tracker...
Hey, Velma. You have a job
for me, don't you?

I thought you'd like the sound
of a $20,000 reward.

COLTER:
I'm Colter Shaw.

I earn rewards that are posted

by police or by citizens.

Sort of an unusual job.

COLTER: Everyone's
looking for something.

Sounds cool.
It is cool,

actually.
(grunts)

Put the knife away.

WOMAN:
No! Stop!

Yo. What's good?
COLTER (on phone): Hey, Bobby.

I need your help.

Addresses, aliases,

phone numbers.

REENIE:
My name's Reenie Greene.

I'm representing
the pathological

narcissist in that cell
over there.

Has he talked to you at all
about his family?

No.
It's a lot

to unpack there.
COLTER: Hey, Dory.

Who would've thought
my big brother

would show up after a year

without so much
as a phone call?

What happened?

Mom, Russell called.

Block that number.

Ignore him.

Hey, little brother.

COLTER:
Really going through with it?

Told my jerk boss off,
quit my job.

Feel like I need to go home
and figure some stuff out.

COLTER:
Well, when you're done figuring,

you know where to find me.

REENIE:
Sure do, don't I?

(dog whines)

(snarling)
COLTER:
Easy.

(barking)

(chomping steak)

(hinge squeaks softly)

(flashlight clicks)

* *

* *

(dog barking outside)

(vehicle approaching)

(freezer closes)

(vehicle door opens)

(dog barking excitedly)

(truck alarm beeps)

(dog barking)

Daisy, quit it.

Daisy!

* *

I let myself in.

(scoffs softly)

Hello, Frank.

Been waiting for you to show up.

Harass me.

Well, you know what day it is.

(scoffs)

(Frank sighs)

Ah.

I should call the cops.

Breaking into my house.
That's a new one.

I got tired of watching.

Yeah? Now what?

Found that.

What is it?
Dirt.

Why would
you have that?

Remediating toxins
in my backyard.

You got any more questions?

Or can you get the hell
out of my house?

Not till we talk
about Gina Picket.

I said get the hell
out of my house.

Ten years ago today,

she disappears from
the Welltown Mall parking lot

after her shift at Hot Topic.

I ain't got nothing to say
to you or her whack job sister.

And I ain't got nothing to do
with whatever happened to her.

I don't believe you.

You know what I think?

I think you messed up,

and didn't find out
what happened to her.

And you got
nothing.

And so now,
you harass me

every year
for the last ten years.

And I'll do it for another ten.

I'm sick of this.

Get back here.

(grunting)

I'm gonna prove it was you.

(choking):
Good luck.

(both panting)

(hoarse):
You got nothing.

Not yet.

See you next year, Frank.

(door unlocks, opens)

(door shuts)

(bottle cap clatters)

(owl hoots outside)

(sighs)

(phone ringing)

(grunts)

(ringing continues)

VELMA: Hey, Colter.
I've been trying calling you,

but they go
straight to voicemail.

Sorry.

That's okay.
I'm just checking in.

I know what today is.

Making sure you haven't done

anything stupid.

I don't want to talk about it.

VELMA:
Yeah, all right,
I got it.

Well, we have a job for you.

I should say

I have a job for you.

Right, sorry, I forgot
to even ask. How's Teddi?

She's gonna be there
for a while.

She's helping her mom
get sorted.

Thought you were going
back and forth.

VELMA:
I was getting in the way,
you might say,

and it really wasn't good.
So, I-I came back.

Got it.

Don't you worry,
because I'm staying busy.

Reenie has me helping her
set up her new office.

You know she's opening up
her own criminal law firm?

Say hey.
Hey.

I guess you didn't get
the paint party invite.

'Cause we've got paint and wine,

and let me tell you,
they don't go together so well.

Uh, the wine was her idea.

(chuckles) What's the job?

Sizeable reward, actually.

$35,000.

Yeah, but it's
a weird one.

Never stopped me before.

Fair.

Family of four

vanished outside
of Pine Bluffs, Arkansas.

(singing along):
* I, I play just what
I feel... *

VELMA:
Ted and Connie King
and their two kids,

Brett, nine, and Amy, six.

Reward posted
by Ted's brother Craig.

REENIE:
Sheriff department's already
started their search.

* They got a name for
the winners in the world *

* I, I want a name when I lose *

* They call Alabama
the Crimson Tide... *

Send me the information.

* *

(birds singing)

(indistinct radio chatter)

(engine shuts off)

(steadying exhale)

COLTER:
How you doing?

Colter Shaw.
Craig King.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

I mean, I guess.

Sorry, I-I don't really
know how this works.

I get paid only in success.

(exhales)

Your brother and his family
have been missing

for about 12 hours?

15 hours.

When was the last time
you spoke to your brother?

Two days ago. Uh, said they
were gonna go on vacation.

He say where?

No. It was a spur
of the moment thing.

Just said he needed
to get out of town.

I didn't think
much of it.
And the cops?

Oh, they're locals boys used
to breaking up bar fights.

It's really important
that I do whatever I can

to find my brother
and his family.

In situations like this,
every second counts.

I need you
to be honest with me.

Okay?
Okay.

Um...

I think there were
some people after him.

I was watching
the kids,

uh, at their place
last week

and there was
a big pickup,

a couple of
scary-looking guys in it,

they drove around.

I think they were,
uh, casing the house.

Did you ask Ted about it?

Yeah, he said it was nothing,
just blew it off.

And you don't
believe him?

I, uh, I don't like
saying this, but, uh...

Ted had some
gambling problems.

Yeah, uh, started as
an online thing,

maxed out his cards,

almost lost
his business over it.

Um, but he owes
some money to...

kind of people you don't
want to owe money to.

Uh, I mean, that shouldn't
have been a problem anymore.

Why would that be?
(sighs)

Ted won the lottery.

Scratch-off tickets. $50,000.

Kind of a big deal around here.

Yeah, family had their picture

in the paper and everything.
Hmm.

I'm gonna take
a look at that van, okay?

Sure thing.

Uh, thank you.

* *

Who the hell are you?

Colter Shaw. And you are...?

Okay, Colter Shaw,

what are you doing
in my crime scene?

I was hired
by the family.

Retired cop? P.I.?

No. I, uh...

I collect rewards, actually.

You collect rewards?

Ted's brother Craig hired me.

He didn't mention that the
Marshals were working the case.

Well, we are.
This is our crime scene.

Marshal Martinez, by the way.

Marshals on
a missing persons case,

less than 48 hours?

How about none of your business?

Well, I just
think it's

strange that a family

would up and disappear
out of nowhere.

Doors left wide open
like this? Right?

The-- they leave their
cell phones behind?

Now, maybe... maybe
someone drove up on them,

forced them
off the road,

took them against
their will.

Well, six months ago,
a lottery winner

in Florida was abducted

and forced to hand over
his winnings.

That made it a federal case.

We're hoping the same thing
didn't happen here.

Somebody could've
driven away with them.

Or...

maybe they were
marched into the woods.

We saw that already.
That's why my partner

Boyd's conducting a grid search
in the woods as we speak.

I just want to help
in any way I can.

Then stay the hell
out of our way.

We'll call you
if we hear of any missing cats.

(indistinct radio chatter)

I don't know, Bobby,
sounds like he had some debt.

(Bobby sighs over earpiece)

Got it, so he hit it big
on a scratcher

and the interested party
came to collect?

COULTER (over speaker):
Maybe, plus interest.

Or it could've been thieves

trying to jack him
for the winnings.

(sighs) Lotto is cursed, my man.
I'm telling you.

You ain't catching me
messing with it.

Can you find out who might've
been after the money?

Got you, my boy.

Let me know when something hits.

(hangs up)

Careful.
(chuckles)

Turns out,
it's much easier

to hike when
there's a trail.

Wrong shoes for
a grid search.

Don't I know it.

Jeremy Boyd.
U.S. Marshals.

Colter Shaw.

I'm out here
looking for

the King family,
same as you.

Good. We need all
the help we can get.

That's not
what your partner said.

Agent Martinez?

I met her
back at the van.

Right. Well,
in my experience,

honey catches
more flies.

Been searching
the area for hours.

No sign of 'em.
You find anything?

Not yet, no.

I feel like we're
being misled here.

How so?

Well, the van, for starters.
The way it was left?

It might as well have
a neon sign flashing,

telling us where to look.

And there's no sign
of a struggle,

there's no tire marks indicating

another vehicle
ran it off the road.

And then,
look at this here.

This path.

Which way
the grass is bent.

What's that
matter?

Well, it's both ways, right?

Like, when I walk,

the grass bends forward.

Right?

What are you saying?

I mean, I'm saying

I think
this whole thing is a setup.

The King family
wasn't taken.

I think someone's
after them,

so the family was leading them
in the wrong direction

and then they doubled back
along the same route.

Interesting theory, Mr. Shaw.

Colter.

Right.

If I'm right,
that extends the search area

about 200 acres on the
other side of the road.

It's best if
we stay split up.

It's a lot of
ground to cover.
Yeah.

We're not the only ones looking.

(line ringing)

BOBBY:
Yo, C, my G.

Bobby, what do you got?

Well, for starters,

Ted King's
alias popped up

on online betting forums.

He was very active,

but... let's just say

he didn't have a crystal ball.

His brother said he was in debt.

He was.

Checked his DMs.

Looks like
he settled his tab

two days after

his online winnings came in.

Gotta hand it to him
for not buying

a jet ski or, you know,
something stupid.

Yeah.

Family gets out
of their minivan

in the middle of nowhere
and just vanishes.

No sign of struggle,
carjacking...

I did find
some weirdness, but...

(sighs)
...I don't know where to put it.

Talk to me.

Well,

checked up on his family
just to cross my T's.

Connie, his wife,
didn't even exist before 2015.

Talking no records,
no photos,

zero online history.

She just appeared
out of nowhere.

Poof.

That is weird.

Maybe this doesn't have anything
to do with the father at all.

I mean, you're probably right.

Especially if he paid off
all his debt.

Keep digging, Bobby.
I'll call you back

Hey.

Hey, it's okay.

It's-it's okay, I know
you're scared. I'm here to help.

Where are your parents?

It's my fault.

What's your fault?
What do you mean?

Mom and Dad
told us

to leave our phones
in the car,

but... took my tablet.

When they
found out,

they were mad.

Someone could track the tablet.

Do you know where they went,
your parents?

Dad went
to get rid of it.

When he didn't come back,
Mom left, too.

Told us to hide
until she came back.

(gun cocks)

I told you
to stay away.

I don't think
all that's necessary.

Be right back, okay?

These kids have been separated
from their parents.

They're scared. Last thing
they need is more tension.

That is, if you want to get any
useful information from them.
I warned you.

This is a federal investigation.

And it would go a lot quicker
if you would just let me help.

You've been looking for 'em
for, what, eight hours now?

Well, there's your result.
Look at that.

Okay? Take it,
you can have it, I don't care.

I'm just trying to help.

Okay.

But I need you to stand down.

There are things about this case
you don't understand.

Like why they're running?

All I want to do is get these
kids back with their parents.

Now, the dad took off
with the kid's tablet.

Okay, we'll look into it.

What's going on here?

This is not about
a lottery ticket, is it?

I need to get them
somewhere safe.

COLTER:
Two U.S. Marshals
assigned to the case.

There's no record of the mother.

Could be witness protection.

WITSEC? Colter.

You really have
a way of stepping into

the biggest pile of it,
don't you?

I tend to.
It's possible, though, right?

I mean, it's possible,

but losing track of someone
in witness protection--

it's not the kind of thing

they're gonna
want to brag about.

Let me see what I can find out.

Gonna be kind of tricky, but...

I got some tricks.

Those poor kids.

Where are they now?

Kids are safe.
Marshal Martinez

is taking them
to their uncle's right now.

I'm on my way to a gas station.

Bobby was able to track
the location of the tablet.

Look, if they are in program,
fleeing WITSEC

is not something you do
without good reason.

Could have been
their only choice.

Well, if that's what this is,
it'd be good to know

why they were in the program
in the first place.

I'll let you know
what I find out.

(hangs up)

* *

("Something in the Air"
by Thunderclap Newman playing)

* Know that it's right *

* We have got
to get it together *

* We have got to *

* Get it together now *

* Lock up the streets
and houses *

* Because there's something *

* In the air *

* We got to get together... *

Ted?

(whimpering)

* Because the revolution's *

* Here *

* And you know it's right... *

* *

(grunting)

Ted?

It's okay.
You're okay.

I'm here to help you.
(sputtering)

Could have used you
a few minutes earlier.

BOYD:
What he saying?

I don't know.
What is it, Ted?

F-Find my wife.
You have to save her.

Ambulance is on the way.
Oh, my kids...

Kids.
Your kids are safe.
Your kids are okay.

The marshal took them
to your brother Craig's house.

Now...

Ted, you're got to tell me--
what do they want with you?

What's this all about?

They're after my wife.

Where is she?

Thought she was
staying with the kids.

Got a long road to recovery,
but he'll be all right.

VELMA:
Any sign of his wife, Connie?

Still in the wind.

What'd you find out?

Well, you were right
about WITSEC.

Connie was in the program
for nine years.

Her testimony got some heavy
hitters put away for life.

These heavy hitters have names?

Tommy Garner, the
unofficial kingpin

of a big Mississippi
crime organization

and a couple of his
good ol' boys.

She nailed him for money
laundering, drug charges

and-- you guessed it--
contract killing,

reserved for former members
and perceived snitches.

Well, maybe Connie
let the Marshals know

that the Garners
knew where she was

and they just didn't
have time to react.

REENIE:
Yeah, maybe.

But the guys that she put away--

they were her own family.

She was married to
Tommy Garner's son, Kirk,

before she went into WITSEC.

Turns out she's actually
quite the badass.

* *

(engine sputters)

Come on.

(sighs) Come on.
(car engine revving)

* *

(grunts)

Brett! Amy!

COLTER: Kids are fine.
They're fine.
(gasps)

I'm on your side, it's okay.
I'm on your side.

Your brother-in-law Craig
hired me

to find your family
and bring 'em to safety.

Where are my children?

They're fine, they're safe.

They're with Craig.

And my husband?

Your husband's at the hospital.
He's gonna be fine.

Now I need you to come with me.

You don't understand.
These people-- I know them.

The Garners.
That's why you're in WITSEC.

I thought this part
of my life was over.

I thought it was in the
past, but I was wrong.

Ted won the stupid lottery.

I mean, I wasn't even thinking.

They saw your picture
in the paper,

were able to track you down.
Yeah.

And they won't ever stop until
they make me pay for what I did.

Probably think

I'm a terrible mother.

Leaving my kids
in the woods like that.

I was just trying
to get them safe.

I don't judge.

Course you do.
Everyone does.

I just didn't have a choice.

I was always gonna
come back for them.

Sometimes doing the right thing
means making the hard choice.

Tell me about
the Garners.

My ex-husband's family.

When I met Kirk,
I knew where he came from.

I knew what they did.

Who they were.

I was a different person then.

And I loved him, so...

I looked the other way.

Until you couldn't.

(scoffs)

Kirk hated his father,
but he was

just like him.

Violent.

Planning on taking
over his organization,

running things.

I couldn't take it anymore.
And so I went to the FBI

and I helped them
put Kirk's father away.

And Kirk turned on me and...

he wanted to kill me and...

I had no choice
but to divorce him and...

disappear.

Thought I could
put it all behind me.

Let the past go.

Past is part of who we are.

Doesn't have to
define your future.

You really believe that?

I... I don't know.

Something my brother
and sister keep telling me.

How's that working?
So far, it's not,

but, you know,
with my family...

it may never happen.

Yeah.

Kirk's never gonna
let anything go.

Wants to make me pay.

Well, I'm not gonna
let that happen.

* *

(phone vibrates)

Reenie, I got Connie.
Bringing her back now.

Colter, we've got a problem.

What do you mean?

U.S. Marshal Boyd was found
dead in the woods.

I was just with him.

That's not possible.
They're estimating

time of death
was eight hours ago.

Reenie, I got to go.

Connie, show me a picture

of your ex-husband Kirk.

(doorbell rings)

I'm coming.

Hey there.
U.S. Marshal Boyd.

Just wanted to check
on you and the kids.

Come in.

So, where are the kids?

Upstairs watching
something on my iPad.

I figured... (gasps)
(squish)

COLTER:
We're almost there.

Thanks, Martinez.

He won't stop until
he's killed my entire family.

Listen, I need you
to breathe, okay?

Just breathe.
This isn't gonna work

unless you trust me.

Can you do this?
Yes or no?

Yeah.

Good.

(kids laughing in distance)

BRETT: Oh!
(Amy laughing)

(video game beeping)

Ah. Ah.
One, two, pop.

(kids chattering indistinctly)

Pop, pop, pop.
Pop, pop.

AMY:
One, two, three.

BRETT:
Oh, wait.
Hands are kind of greasy.

Yeah. Little squirt.
(chuckles)

Little squirt.
(Amy giggles)

Five, jump.

(giggles)
BRETT: More bubbles,
more bubbles, more bubbles.

(both laugh)
AMY: Jump, jump.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy.

Hey, Brett.

You remember me?

Look at you, all grown up.

He's here.

Let's go, guys.
Come on, hurry, hurry.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Let's go.

Right now.
(gasps) Baby!

Mom!
No, no, no. No, no.

Come on. Oh!

Drop the gun.

Yeah.

Now.

Okay.

Okay.
Just let the boy go.

No one has
to get hurt.

Hello, Rachel.
It's been a while.

Run back to that black truck

in the back seat
and lay down for me, please.

You do that, honey, okay?

Thank you.

Let him go, please.

You know I can't do that.

I loved
you, Rachel,

but you broke my heart.

You took my son.

He's not.

He's blood.
CONNIE: He's not your son.

That was over
the minute I left you

and your messed-up family.

That ain't exactly
how I remember it.

You want to kill me, go ahead.
Just...

just please let him go.

How about this?
Give me my son,

and I won't tell 'em
where you are.

What?

I-I can tell 'em
you're dead.

You can have your happy
little family. No more running.

Brett will be safe with me.

I would rather die.

No.
Works for me.

Easy. Easy.

My family will hunt you
for sport.

I said no!
Okay!

Hey, hey, hey,
we're good, we're okay.

Listen to me, listen to me.
Look at me.

Hey. Look at me.

Look at me.

I need you
to trust me.

You got to let him go.

Trust me.

Okay.

Just let the boy say goodbye
to his mother.

You got the gun.

You're in control.

You got the power.
Let the boy say goodbye, please.

(crying): No.
Please.

That's all I'm asking. Just...

Please.

Please.

Come on back here. Hear me?
Okay.

All right.

(crying)

(gunshot)
(Connie exclaims)

It's okay.
It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay, okay.

I'm just glad you're safe.

It's all because
of your brother.

* *

Nice work back there.
Thanks.

I trust you're gonna
help them vanish?

Yeah, it's already in the works.

Mm. As long as Garner's
got men out there,

they're not gonna
stop looking for her.

Until we get it sorted,
I'm gonna stick around

and coordinate with the FBI,

make sure the Kings are safe.
Great.

And what about you?
What's next?

Uh, you know, I got a tip
on a lost marmot.

Yeah.
High paying.

Should be a slam dunk.
I'll bet.

Good luck.

VELMA:
Colter, hey.

If it's not a great time,
we can do it later.

Just thought you said
you wanted to see the office.

Yeah, sorry, just, uh...

finishing something up.

Sweet. Okay. Uh, this here

is Reenie's desk.

Just lawyering over here,
never mind me.

But I do have some good news.

The entire Garner organization
is under investigation

for conspiracy to kidnap a child

amongst a whole bunch
of other charges

they're gonna stack on top.

So, I don't imagine

that Connie will
have to remain in WITSEC

in the near future.

And the marshal's agreed
to stick around town,

keep an eye on 'em until
the family's safety is ensured.

REENIE:
Oh, speaking of Martinez.

She informed me that there was
a bounty on the Garner family,

so she's gonna wire that over
once the paperwork's sorted.

And Ted and Connie--

they wanted to give you
the reward money

Craig had offered you.

No, no.
That's-that's not necessary.

REENIE:
And I already told

them that, so I suggested

that they use
the reward money to create

a charity in his name,
which they thought was

a brilliant idea.
In case you haven't noticed,

Colter, I am pretty
dang good at my job,

which is why I took the liberty

of, uh, transferring
my ten percent fee.

Ten percent fee? I thought
it was an eight percent fee.

New firm, new prices.

Well, do I get new services?
(laughs)

Don't you wish.
Ten percent.

Got it.

(knock on door)
Be nice.

(sighs)
(phone rings)

VELMA:
Oh, Bobby's calling.

Yo, C-shizzle!

You gonna swing by
Reenie's office

for a visit?
COLTER: No.

No, but, uh,

my office warming gift
is in the mail.

Yeah, I'll believe it
when I see it.

Thank you, Bobby.
Thank you, Bobby.

COLTER:
Okay, okay, okay. Hey, Reenie,

what are you gonna name
the new firm?

Yeah, Law Offices
of Greene and Associates.

Who are the associates?

TBD.

COLTER:
Okay.

Well, good luck with that.

I got to go.

Everything all right?

Yeah. Uh, just...

...something
I got to take care of.

Anything we can help with?

Just say the word.

Thank you. Okay.

* *

(lock clicks)

Hey.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Yes, uh, just work stuff.

(door closes)

It'll be okay.

You go see him?

Yeah.

And?

Same.

Beer?

Sure.

Thank you.

Nothing for you?

Vodka.

Been a rough few days.

Every year it's the same.

Get that.

I know you do.

How about we just...

...don't talk for a while.

I just really want
to feel something that's not...

You know.

Can we just...

What happened with Whales?

I just wanted him to know
I'm still watching.

What'd you do?

Let myself into his house.
Had a look around.

Find anything?

Got a sample of his handwriting.

I thought maybe we could compare
it to the letters you got.

You mean the crazies.

You never know.

There's something else.

It's weird,
I found at his house.

I looked in
his fridge.

It was mostly empty, but...

there was a bag of dirt
in the freezer.

Weird.
Yeah.

He said he was having it
tested for toxins.

You buy that?
I don't know.

I know I'm missing something.

One of these days,
I'm gonna find something

that puts him in the parking lot

the night Gina disappeared.
He was there.

I know, in my gut, he was there.

I don't know how much longer
I can keep holding out hope.

Maybe she's gone and...

I'll never know and this...

I'm gonna
keep looking.

I know.

I made you a promise.

I'm not gonna stop
until I find out

what happened to your sister.

(sniffles)
